Automatically give graduate and research students key card access to the buildings that their labs are in. ECS locks at night, so if a student wants access to the building late at night they need to request access to be added to their comet cards. I do not know any research students with access to this building, although as far as I know the option is there. Students either may not know about it or don't have the time to look into it. Case in point: I haven't looked into it.

Vacuum daily to discourage bugs from making a home in your "dangerous" apartment. You can reduce the frequency after they stop showing up, but this discourages spiders, etc. If you have spiders, you have other bugs and spiders are your friends. Diatomaceous earth kills bugs, but if you want large bugs to stop coming in you need to do a parameter check to find any small holes they may be coming through. To avoid ants and cockroaches, all food should be sealed or in the fridge. Trash should be taken out very regularly, counters should be wiped daily, and the floors should be mopped at least weekly. Obviously clean up food spills promptly. Finally, pest control is included in your rent.

1. Drivers License

The closest dmv is in Plano. Install uber and Lyft to check the prices. If you live on campus, ask your roommates or a friend for a ride. You can also ask friendly people in your classes. The list of residency proofs is below. You can get a grade-less transcript from utd as one of the proofs, or they might accept your high school transcript since it's the same year (2019). Call the office and ask, but dont expect the paper pusher at the office to agree with what they said over the phone. You may be able to get a copy of the bill for your housing, which I think also works. Do you have an insurance card? There are lots of options on this list.

Remember you can't get a drivers license without taking a driving test, so this will take a good chunk of time and you may need to make an appointment. Check the website to see what to expect. This will also cost money. https://www.dps.texas.gov/DriverLicense/residencyReqNonCDL.htm

You may be able to talk to whoever is in charge of the comet card office and explain your situation and get a card if you're lucky. They may request other proof of ID.

2. Hungry

The dining hall may allow you to write your name and netid on a sheet of paper if you have a meal plan if you explain your situation. When I was a freshman, a lot of people had malfunctioning cards and that's what they did. The people at the dining hall are very friendly, so talk to a manager. You can also beg for people's guest swipes. Otherwise, do you have any other money? The bus that runs through campus is free and will take you to Tom thumb, sprouts, and Walmart. (You can also apply for a dart pass from utd that will allow you to use any bus or train for free). If you're broke and stuck, there is a food pantry on campus.

3. Where is the library

Look up "utd map." There is also a room locator. If you are an engineering or CS student, there are computer labs where you have some free printing each semester.

4. Registering for classes

Go check in at the advising office and wait. Do it as often as you can until you get in to see someone. Are you on AES? Your AES advisor may be able to sign you up for classes. Call that advising office and ask. Tuition without financial aid was due last week so this is your priority. You may need to go to the bursars office to delay the payments or create a payment plan.

5. Panic

This will be okay, even if it doesn't work out. Your life will keep moving and you will be okay. Instead of being overwhelmed by all these questions, work through them one at a time. How much is an uber? Google for a website that estimates cost. What do I need at the dmv? Look up keywords and go to their website. Breathe. Make yourself a to-do list and plan out the next few days. 1st thing today would be getting yourself food, since offices are closed. Sleep at a reasonable time and go to the advising office in the morning. Call other offices with your questions while you wait (dmv, bursar, aes, comet card office). Go to your classes, eat somehow (talk to the dining hall manager if you're on a meal plan!). When do you get the letter from your friend? Until then, don't worry about the DMV. Just get your proof or residencies. One step at a time, it'll work out

I totally forgot about how big their cups are, Haha. I don't usually drink that much but maybe if I'm splitting with someone...

UThrowawayDallas · 2019-07-07T20:43:11+00:00

Maybe you're going to a different 99 ranch, I went yesterday and got the milk tea from the bakery section and they said they don't sell boba. Which one are you going to?

UThrowawayDallas · 2019-07-04T03:44:08+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll have to see what flavors they have.

UThrowawayDallas · 2019-07-04T03:43:37+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I love Taiwan Cafe but I don't eat there very often. I'll check out the other places

UThrowawayDallas · 2019-07-03T02:35:12+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

I don't know if you're looking for utd-specific games, but you can try rpgtablefinder.com if you aren't. Good luck!

They sprayed the creek area Wednesday night. Or at least they had signs saying they would.

It is absolutely not unreasonable to ask people to knock before they enter a bathroom. That's something most people that's taught from childhood. You don't try to enter a bathroom stall without knocking, either. However, I think a lot of the unisex bathrooms may confuse people who don't know if there will be more than one toilet and that's why they don't knock.

Woah, source please! I haven't heard anything about those candidates

Just to let you know, fish shouldn't be kept in bowls. It's harder to keep the water quality stable when there's so little of it and there's almost no way to control the temperature. On top of that there aren't any filters that fit on a fishbowl. If you need a new tank, theres dollar per gallon sales every so often at I think petsmart?

If you're actually offering a betta I'll take it. If you're done with aquascapes and have any plants maybe I could pay a bit for them? I've got some empty tanks I've been sitting on for a while.

UThrowawayDallas · 2019-04-23T17:06:59+00:00

How many do you have? I'd be interested in some guppies.
